Nope. Same price as the rest of mezzanine.

Postseason pricing is a little strange. Part of it is that baseball sets price ranges that the teams have the discretion to work between. Part of it makes little sense. There are only 4 postseason price points: 1: Field Club/Inner Loge Boxes 2: Outer Field Box/Outer Loge Box/Mezz Box/Upper Box 3: Loge Reserved 4: Mezz Reserved/Upper Reserved/Back Rows of Loge For the DS, they are $100, $70, $55 and $45. For LCS, I think they go up to $150, $115, $90, $80 WS I think is $250, $200, $175, $150.

Upper Boxes are the first six rows of the deck -- Box A is the first two rows, Box B the middle two rows... Upper Reserved are, as mentioned, above that and Rows A-V. The Mezzanine has 6 rows in the boxes and the reserved is Rows A-P; the Loge has 4 rows in the boxes and the reserved is Rows A-L. Loge reserved rows K and L and Mezzanine Reserved rows N-O-P are sold at the lowest price because they are obstructed view -- you can't see the scoreboard/diamondvision/high fly balls due to the overhang.

The email that attgig got was likely a "Second Chance" Offer. These were sent out frequently last year. I believe I bought Division Series Home Game 3 on the something like the 4th "second chance" offer. The first round of emails everybody gets a "you lucky dog" or "sorry, you suck" (perhaps not with those exact words) email. Tickets went on sale last Monday and they sold out what they put on sale. Now, of course, some people's credit cards were probably rejected; some people bought over the ticket limit and had their orders canceled; some additional seats probably became available because whoever had them held (ie. Mets, Major League Baseball, corporate sponsors, etc) didn't need them and they got released for public sale. All those get put back on sale with the "second chance" offer which the open up to a new set of emails selected via lottery. Sometimes, but not always, you can get some pretty good seats from the second chance offers. I sat in the Upper Box (the very first row) for 3 of the 6 playoff games last year and was *very* happy with those seats.

I thought Milano was dating Brad Penny now. Or maybe that was the rumor from a coupla months ago. I'm totally fine with the Rox being our first-round opponent.

Los Angeles (AL) also clinched today.

Our 5th president is the only US president to have an African capital named after him.

Message to Gary Cohen: STFU about the Jets. Nobody gives a crap.

Those were the only 4 I know of.

Billy Wags to close today.

John Quincy Adams was the first president who was related to a prior president (his father, John Adams). Who were the others?

Helms Ks for 2nd out.

Good job by Sosa (and Beltran). Plenty of time to get runs back.

Washington takes the lead on a HBP with the bases loaded.

Austin Kearns RBI single just tied up the WAS-PHI game.

1-1, middle 5th in the WAS-PHI game. Had to bring in 2 relievers to get out of the inning, one walked Howard to load the bases, the second got Rowand to ground out to end it.

He pitched of the last 4 games. With a 5 run lead, there were plenty of better-rested options to pitch an inning (Sele; Humber; Collazo; Muiniz).
